Abstract
Lessons from the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 offered an opportunity for India to assess and monitor the resilience of its costal line and ecosystem. Which are rich in biodiversity, marine and land based resources relatively fragile to such extreme disasters. The framework discussed in this paper is associated with the ecosystem based adaptation approach that link ecosystems and coastal management for reducing risks from natural hazards. Broadly this framework integrates the management and use of ecosystem services and its conservation, as an important natural resource. This approach in India adopts the sustainable management, conservation, and restoration of the coastal ecosystem to provide services which help people adapt to both adverse environmental variability and its changing impacts.
